Then the golden beam of the transporter took Aidan away.

One time they floated some smoke across the light and suddenly the whole beam took shape.

And as the beam took them, he didn't feel relief.

As the beam took him and the Enterprise faded from his view, he wondered if he would ever see the ship again.

But as he came in sight of his target, he saw someone else's beam take him out.

"Good luck," she said as the beam took them.

On the viewer, Vargas's ship shuddered as the beam took hold.

The beam had taken us off the road, and instead of returning to it, we kept on following the beam.

Then, as Taft watched, the beams of light took order and began to march directly toward where he was hiding.

If the ship stands 400 kilometres high, then the beam will take a minute and 40 seconds to reach the surface.
